no slop grenade: Stop throwing AI-generated walls of text into conversations
(noslopgrenade.com)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
A lot of people at my job started having bots auto post summaries to human channels. It’s a waft of AI garbage that’s hard to parse and people get pissy when you don’t read the whole thing.
Like if you fucking care hand type it yourself instead of vomiting garbage at me.
I get pissy when the AI tries to summerize my emails or messages when I'm driving. I just want it to parrot what my friends in the group chat have said but it keeps trying to paraphrase and I honestly don't get what is so fucking hard about letting the phone just read the god damn words that my friends wrote!
To be fair, before GenAI a lot of them managed to manually vomit a lot of useless garbage and I ignored them then too... Of course, now they are more empowered to waste my time than before...
